    Barbecue Ribs with Mofongo
    Miguel P.

    I have been a customer for 12 years and El Flamboyan has always delivered Great Flavor and Awesome Service. I highly recommend their Barbecue Ribs with Mofongo and their Pepper Steak with Rice.

    two take out containers of food
    Leonel Q.

    This place is not REAL CHINESE PUERTORICAN food, not even close. They force you to buy all the sauces $1.00 each. It tastes like leftovers.

    Roast duck noodle soup. Yes roast duck. Off menu item that they were happy to make for me!!   Competes with other around town.

    Want to change up that week night take out? This place is delish. Must have: pork sticks. Not your typical cerdo. They are flat pork pieces of yumminess. It's rumored that the current chef is from a Mills 50 district staple). Remember they are closed on Tuesdays. So that should be the only day you avoid this spot!

    "Sesame shrimp"
    Nicole E.

    We ordered this in Uber eats and I will never eat from here again. I ordered sesame shrimp. I received frozen box shrimp with sesame sauce poured over it for $15. Nothing we received looked fresh. Everything seems to be out of a box there. My partner ordered spare ribs that were dry and tasteless. I am very disappointed in the food. My suggestion don't eat here. It's a waste of your money.

    Beef w broccoli
    Antonia F.

    We were so looking forward to liking this place; however, we were so disappointed. Both meals (Mongolian beef and beef w broccoli) were so bland and the least amount of food for Chinese take-out we've ever seen. This place costs more than the other Chinese restaurants in the area and does not even compare in taste or quantity. The fried wontons appetizer was 6 small wontons that were so overcooked, it was incredibly difficult to bite into them. ($3.25) Mongolian beef only had like 5 or 6 pieces of meat. House fried rice and 3 pieces of shrimp put on top (not even cooked w the rice). Each meal was approximately $9.50, definitely not worth it. Also, no fortune cookies and only one packet of soy sauce were in the take-out bag. So much for trying a new place, we'll stick to our usual spots!

    Be sure to ask for no eggs in the fried rice to make it vegan!
    Ash M.

    This is my favorite Chinese spot to go to when I'm in town. This review is focused on their vegan options. Essentially any "meat" style they have you can also get made with tofu. My personal favorite is their General Tso tofu. It's always hot and crispy! Also I asked about the batter they use and it is indeed suitable for plant-based eaters.

    White rice and "pepper steak"

    Don't waste your money here. They serve me all onion and 3 piece of steak and the lady that was taking our order was very rude. I paid $30 something dollars for a plate full of rice and onions

I know their outward appearance might scare off…read moresome people but to the foodies out there, or those looking for good Spanish food, you got to try it! Their service is great and fast, but more importantly their food is mouth watering good. It always leaves me with a craving to come back and a full stomach ready to tackle the rest of my workday. My favorites have consisted of a Cuban sandwich which is full of pork and sauce and toasted nicely. It also does not fall apart when eating which is a plus when you are trying to stay looking presentable. Their pork is amazingly juicy and just falls apart in your mouth and has been worth every stain I have accidentally caused on my dress shirts. The white rice is fluffy and simple and good but their yellow rice is much better with many items. Their chicharron de cerdo is crispy and breaks easy and it's never been hard or chewy. Their ropa vieja is also delicious and I can't help but devour the entire plate. The rice and beans paired real good with this! My favorite sides have been the avocado salad and their macaroni salad! Both very light and balanced well with light citrus flavors in the avocado salad. I'll keep coming back here because the food honestly reminds me of so many great dishes my family use to make at home and after eating at so many places around Orlando I had yet to find a better place to get Spanish food like this!

    Beautiful restaurant - I wish I had taken more photos inside but the place was packed (a good sign)…read moreand I try not to take pictures of random families and post them online. With that said, the food was excellent and there's a ton to choose from - it's easy to get overwhelmed, but the thing I enjoyed the most was the service and how sweet our server was (I forgot her name, but she was always so sweet and patient with our family). There were tons of folks eating mofongo so I'm sure that's a fan favorite here. We tried a few appetizers, juices, rice and beans, and shared a large platter that had multiple options for the family since it was our first visit and we didn't know what to try first. The tostones rellenos de churrasco (skirt steak stuffed fried green plantains) were delicious and come with five little cups and a dipping sauce that I'm pretty sure was mayo/ketchup. They also put a little PR flag on top which my kids enjoyed playing with. This ended up being my main meal because I wasn't that hungry, and it was the perfect bite of crispy, salty, and creamy with the dipping sauce. We also tried another appetizer that I didn't try, alcapurria de carne, which comes with two rolls cut in half (husband enjoyed it) and the Assorted Pal Campo which comes with chicharon, fried yuca, chicharron de pollo, tostones, fried cheese topped with a sweet guava sauce (that my daughter was not a huge fan of - I would ask for it on the side next time), and sausage. Definitely a heavy meal - and I felt like I needed to eat salad for the next two days straight after this meal - but it was tasty. Next time I'll ask for a side of cucumbers or something to break up all of the fried elements, or order something that comes with slaw/veggies.

My husband had the Peruvian shrimp with yellow rice, salad, and black beans. We were both raving about the taste while eating. They have a range of dishes from across Latin America, and lots of gluten free options. They aren't safe for celiacs though. They use a shared fryer. If you are super sensitive or have celiac, just beware of that. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Conveniently located in the theme parks area near Orlando. You should not miss this restaurant. Try something new if you've never tasted Latin American cuisine, or try it if you've grown up with it. You won't go wrong and you'll likely be back.

You order at a kiosk fast food style, but all of the food is then prepared freshly and authentically. They have a huge menu with all kinds of delicious Latin eats like sandwiches and platters. We absolutely loved our Cuban sammies which came on thick and sweet bread. My kids kept it simple with tenders and fries and also enjoyed! They have a big drink selection and you can find everything from juices to fresh cocktails. The biggest hit was their large indoor screened patio - perfect for my kids to run around. If you want to avoid fast food but also don't feel like taking your kids to a proper sit down restaurant than this is a really great option.
